Obama has a few ways he can do this or get around it. It will be fun to see Tea Party members complaining that we are meeting our obligations and paying our bills instead of causing a massive financial crisis like they want.

You people are too stupid to care about trying to spend less instead of spending more.

Mr. Bush decided to lower Income and then fight two wars by charging them on VISA, Master card, and American Express. Nobody, LEASTof all Republicans complained...

Maybe Obama should take a leaf out of Bush's book - invent some excuse to invade Iran and their friends Argentina (throw in their friends Cuba as well) - the whacko republicans hate those places and would have to raise the debt ceiling.
